Dakar should be adventure, WRC about being the fastest. To those who are in favour of the long marathons have you any idea just how much more expensive these rallies will be with current WRC cars? I guess doing the type of events many hope for will bring us a field of R4 cars as the top class. For a start check how much per litre WRC fuel is.
In which case, how can the WRC ever hope to recover? The nature of the current events is, many seem to agree, part of the problem. Rallying traditionally is not just about short flat-out sprints. They have their place — they have always had their place — but they are not the be-all and end-all.Quote:

I can't understand why Todt desperately trying to bring some works team.
In these days, manufacturers simply don't want to invest their money
And even if they're take part in this field and win the championship
I don't think we're going to buy some M.W.C winner's road car
In the past, there's lots of meaning about winning the championship to them, it changed
It's time to cost down of this sport and bring the privateers in
I wrote something about that in a norwegian forum, but no'one was interested in that discusion. Take a look at TTA - Elitserien i Racing , its a new top racing class in sweden. Everything is ready, just fit a body on demand. Is i concept like this suitable for wrc? I Think atleast citroen will leave, but if 5-8 private teams will join instead, i can live with that. For the man in the street, it will not make any difference. But its a quite cheap way to run a topclass i wrc, and lots of teams and drivers can be competative for a decent amount of money.
is it nice to be in star trek universe ???
i will visit some day...
Talking to me?
